low fps

[jolli]

Greetings everyone, I'm new to these forums and Im very desperate to get higher fps without buying new parts (for now) so any advice/tweaking programs/tips etc. Will be much appreciated, thank you in advance! sorry if this is the wrong forum or this question has been asked before, I tried search but didnt give any results I was wishing for.

 

take care.

 

EDIT forgot to add my computer specs:

Windows XP Home SP3

Intel Pentium 4 3Ghz

2Gigs of RAM

NVidia Geforce 7600GT, any other info needed?

High FPS for video recording or what ?

[jolli]

Just good fps for general L2 gaming, and able to PvP with decent FPS. Remember, every tip/trick/tool I would greatly appreciate that could do a boost for the computer performance, I really need this. Thanks for your reply.

I don't understand what is ur problem. Does ur game run properly ? do u just want to decrease lag ? try using ALT+P while u are in game , also reduce the map detail in the game option

I think ur graphic card is good enough to play with a good image quality

[jolli]

My problem is that I run the game with bad frames per second, I dont have lag whatsoever. I just want to know somekind of tweaks that would help the frames per second (fps). Maybe modified l2.ini? I dont know what would help except the ingame graphic settings. ALT+P helps only a little.

Did you try lowering you visual settings to the lowest? Also close all other programs before running L2

[jolli]

most of the programs are off, and I've setted it so L2 uses most of the free memory. Tried to tweak the ingame options but it really didnt do a difference, sadly. But I really appreciate your time to help. Everything I've tried hasnt really make a difference. Keep on replying if you got any ideas.

I appreciate you trying to help. I guess I just need a new computer. Thanks for all the replys. I'll keep checking this thread time to time if there will be any tips for me.

Do you always have low fps?

 

I have 1 GB RAM and have average fps, when in Giran, which is full of shops and very low fps at sieges... (Hellbound).

 

If you want to increase your fps, do the following...

 

ALT+P

NPC range: narrow

And also, remove the mobs/NPC/PC names (This helps amazingly )

Thank you alot for your input, I will try this out when I get back to home. answer is yes to the question if I always have constant low fps, dont know how its possible but it is. Im pretty much clueless at the moment.
